Chapter 372 The Second Mistress Really Caused Trouble

The onlookers heard the voices coming from the young master's courtyard getting smaller and smaller, and became more and more worried that those girls might have been beaten to death. Just when they were extremely anxious, the female nurses drove away with sticks and ropes. arrive.

The strong female nurses pushed aside the crowd, directly kicked over the servants guarding the gate, and rushed into the inner courtyard. The people outside slowly returned to calm after hearing various shouts inside.

At this time, the male guards also came to support outside the gate of the courtyard, and took away a group of servants proposed by the female nurses, and detained them, and sold them in the afternoon.

The servants are still clamoring that they are the second wife's dowry old servants, asking the guards to let them go, but who cares about them, the mansion has its own rules, strictly prohibiting murder cases, and the wife beating violently for no reason The girl my son bought newly, if it spreads on the street and people say that the second housewife of Duke Ye's mansion is bad, does it have a good reputation?Isn't that discrediting the family, Gan Yuwen, the future uncle, is staying in the capital.

The onlookers were also mobilized at this time to prepare stretchers and ask the doctor to see their injuries. Those ten-year-old girls had been beaten half to death. It is not known whether they can survive tonight. If someone dies, everyone will die. Everyone in the family hates the second lady for causing such unlucky things on the edge of the New Year.

The old lady and the lady had to report that Gu Xu's situation was stable one after another, and the old man picked two of his big girls to serve Gu Xu for a few days. This poor grandson, two of the housemates are pregnant and temporarily resigned. The newly bought girls were all injured, and only her grandmother was the most suitable to come forward at this time.

The maids in the courtyard were carried to the quiet and idle courtyard one after another to recuperate. They were all newly bought and had no family members, so the mansion had to arrange staff to take care of them.

The maid of the old lady rushed to Gu Xu's courtyard, met the second wife and the eldest young master in sequence, put down her luggage and started to work, the nurses guarding the second lady waited until the small courtyard was cleared, especially when there was no one outside. After watching the excitement, he was forced to take the second wife back to her main room, and put him under house arrest before the second master arrived home.

The second wife was crying in the room trembling with anger. The reputation of virtue and dignity that had been maintained for more than 20 years was broken by her own hands just now. The two daughters sat by the side and cried with their mother, and advised her to be more careful and take a holiday with her father. Stop pissing grandma off until you get home.

The two concubines of the second room live in a yard, just behind the main room of the second room. They live in the main room, and the son and maids live in the east and west rooms respectively. At this moment, the gate of the courtyard is also closed, and the class of ethnology has to be held all the time. The annual holiday was only on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, so the two concubines were not at home, and the two concubines sat in the hall of the main room and gossiped about family affairs. Although they guarded against each other and didn't talk about the second wife, they laughed at the second wife in their hearts.

The third wife is also laughing in her own bedroom. When the third room made people laugh in the past, her second sister-in-law often used a persuasive tone to say some nasty sarcastic words. The feng shui turns, and it is time for her to try it today. This taste, and it was caused by her own hands, she can't blame anyone.

The eldest lady pretended to be dumb without saying a word, and left the matter to her mother-in-law. She devoted herself to preparing for the New Year, and specially asked Bai Kou to go to her anteroom to discuss the New Year's Eve menu and the New Year's banquet menu.

The maids came to report the development process of the second room in a while, and Bai Kou understood the whole process while sitting still.

It was unexpected that Gu Xu got drunk with saber wine, but it made Bai Kou feel refreshed. Of course, he still kept a calm white paper face, as if he didn't care about gossip. .

The same is true for the eldest lady. After listening to the latest progress reported by the girl, she sent people away and continued to talk with Bai Kou. In particular, she mentioned that the orange soda made for Gu Chen on the day of roasting the whole lamb last time should be prepared. During the Chinese New Year, they come to pay New Year's greetings just to entertain them.

Making soda is easy, but there is a lack of bottles, so the eldest lady asked Mama Pang to find all the crystal bottles for spare.

Bai Kou also proposed to make a seafood feast before the year to see if anyone was uncomfortable with some seafood, otherwise it would be ugly to stew a seafood soup and make the masters eat it all night and ask a doctor.

The eldest lady agreed without even thinking about it, and let Bai Kou make arrangements for herself.

After the master and servant continued to discuss the details, they finally came to an end. Bai Kou packed up his notes and resigned.

Gu Yun was waiting in the study, when Qing Lan saw Bai Kou came back, she immediately invited her to the study to talk.

The Second Madam made such a big fuss, so Gu Yun naturally got a report from his servants, but the girls couldn't speak clearly. Knowing that Bai Kou was talking with the Da Furen, he would hear more details, so he waited for the details. She came back and recounted it all over again.

Bai Kou explained the farce in a few words.

"My second aunt dares to use Gu Xu's girls as a punching bag." Gu Yun knew that those girls were beaten, and only after listening to Bai Kou's story did he know how they were beaten. "Those old servants don't have to sympathize with them, they used to The evil things I have done have been accumulated until now, and it is kind to sell them to the mine, and there is no such thing as the injustice of blaming the master."

"But after all, they are the old servants of the second lady's dowry. Their grandchildren have been born in the mansion for so many years. If they sell these grandmother-level old people all at once, won't the servants complain in their hearts? Can the old lady directly Dispose of the daughter-in-law's private property?"

"There are rules in the mansion. The master and the son must be merciful when they hit someone with a cane. It is strictly forbidden to kill people. Not to mention whether outsiders will take the opportunity to sue, but only that the mistress's wife beat her son's newly bought girl with a cane for no reason. Well, once this spreads to the outside world, my eldest room will have to take the blame for their second room, and the world will say that it is Ye State's mansion. Since the second wife doesn't take the face of my Ye State mansion seriously, why should we worry about her? What's more, this happened to Gan Yuwen when he left behind, it seems that I have to mention to my grandmother whether my second aunt is not happy to marry the Gan family in Pingzhou."

"The matter of the second room has developed to the point where it is no longer the servant girl's turn to talk. You can do as you see fit. Anyway, there is no old servant in the long room who dares to put on face in front of you."

Gu Yun immediately looked proud, "Isn't it because this young master knows how to plan ahead and not give those tricky old servants any chance since he was a child."

"Yes, you are the most wise and powerful." Bai Kou patted her skirt and was about to salute, "In the past few days, I will have a seafood feast one night to see if the masters in the house are uncomfortable with any seafood. If you want Go out to play, remember to come back early, otherwise there will be no leftovers for you to eat."

"I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who is unwell with seafood."

"It is necessary to be cautious. The third lady sent too many kinds of seafood, and the masters in the mansion may not have eaten them all before. Otherwise, it would be difficult to invite the imperial physician on New Year's Eve."

Gu Yun scratched the back of his head, "Okay, let's talk about it earlier on a certain day."

Bai Kou immediately bowed and retreated.
